GTX 960 or 760 for video editing

[Gaderas]

Hello.

I am currently building myself a new computer, but I can't decide which video card is better for video editing software.

I am thinking between a Geforce GTX 960 (or 970) or a 760. As far as I heard the 760 is the better one in terms of faster rendering, but I am also thinking about some casual gaming. Would 760 be enough?

760 is older than the 960. The 960 would be better at 99% of tasks as its newer qnd better. But if you can get a 970 (or an R9 390 especially), they'd be even better for that stuff.

if you can wait on the build for the newer gpu it help you on rendering projects.

960 is better than the 760 is basically in every way.

Thank you for the replies. I still have a question regarding Adobe software support for GTX 960. I have been reading that the 900 series is currently not supported as it is based on a different architecture than the 700 series. Thus my question is whether Adobe Premier Pro will run efficiently on a GTX 960, will the rendering be better? Also what about Adobe After Effects (though it is not the main software I will be using, let's say I'd like to experiment a little bit with making my own effects, etc.)?

What is your opinion?

Sorry to bother, but I would really appreciate more information if possible.
